Pronóstico: Highest temperature in Madrid on August 2?

Platform comparison

Market context

Madrid’s temperature on 2 August is the key variable here, with the market settling on the highest reading at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport by noon UTC. That makes the relevant question not whether the city is warm, but whether the airport’s peak lands in the 35–37°C band that current forecasts and market pricing point towards. [1][3][4][5]

The historical frame is straightforward: Madrid in August is normally hot, but the airport can still swing a degree either side of the consensus on any given day, especially when dry air and afternoon sunshine push the maximum higher than early-morning expectations. Recent coverage for 2 August called for a largely stable, dry day with 35–36°C in the capital, while the market itself has concentrated on 36°C and 37°C as the leading outcomes, leaving little room for cooler alternatives. [1][3][5][8][11]

Traders should watch the midday-to-afternoon heat build, any updates to local warnings, and whether the daily maximum at the airport is revised after the first published datapoint for the following day, since the settlement rules depend on the final Wunderground record. AccuWeather had already flagged a moderate high-temperature warning for the Madrid metropolitan area with a maximum of 36°C, which supports the view that the upside is limited unless the afternoon runs hotter than the main forecasts implied.

What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?

Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.

Can I import form data and lineups?

This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
